Dover, Del. (Jan. 5, 2018) --- The Delaware State basketball teams look to get back on the winning track in a MEAC doubleheader against South Carolina State in Memorial Hall on Saturday. The women’s game tips off at 5 p.m., followed by the men’s contest shortly after 7. The games were originally scheduled for 2 & 4 p.m., but were moved to later in the day after the snow storm affected South Carolina State’s travel plans.

On the plus side for the Lady Hornets, junior forward NaJai Pollard, the 2017-18 MEAC Preseason Player-of-the-Year, scored a team-high 21 points in her return to action after missing the previous six games due to a knee injury.
